Beyond Today

Peter Frankopan: who rules the world in 2019?


Listen Later

Best-selling author of The Silk Roads Peter Frankopan opens up an exciting world that hardly any of us have visited, but all should take note of this year. The historian flips around the world map to put Britain at the edge. We hear how Kazakhstan is the new hot spot, why two new billionaires are made a month in China, and where all the stuff that goes into our phones and laptops comes from. Plus his thoughts how we can all start exploring and understanding this new world.

Mixed by Nicolas Raufast

Producers: Jaja Muhammad and Philly Beaumont
Editor: John Shields
